AFFLICTED IRELAND.
Dillon Protests Against an Increase of the
Police Service.

Police Service.
LoNEoN, Aug. 29.-In the house of com
mons this evening on the motion to grant
e762,315 for the purpose of completing
the credit for the Irish police service,
Dillon protested against the constant in
crease of the police In Ireland. Although
the population had decreased 100000
since 1880, the cost of the police service
had increased over e250,00O, This waste
of public money was Lot due to crime. A
monstrous and corrupt police force was
kept up to evade the provisions of the
mutiny act by maintaining larger mill
tary force than was sanctioned by parlia
meat. The law was not enforced and
rents were not collected and the only
effect of employing the police was to
create widespread disaffection and
to exasperate the people. Balfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, said he would
not deny that the cost of the police
force of Ireland was largely in excess of
that of England. He asserted that the
responsibility for this state of affairs
rested on those who were doing their best
to foment discomfort in Ireland. Sex
ton said he believed that Ireland was the
only country in the world where, with a
steadily decreasing population, there ex-
listed steadily increasing police force to
over awe the people.

Systematic Robbing by Railroads.

AN alarming degree Of ignorance pre-
walls among the child laborers in New
York factories, if the annual report of
the state Sctory inspectors can be trust
ed. Thousands of children born in this
country or who came here in early child
hood are unable to read; almost as
many are unable to write, and thousands
of others can do little more than write
their own names. A third of the aflidav-
its of parents examined in the factory
towns were signed with a cross-mark.
The report suggests establishing night
schools in every village and town in the
state, and recommends a new concession
TO barbarism,-a law to prevent the
mingling of the sexes in factories.
ANOTHER effort will be made when con
gress meets to secure the passage
The measure is one which seems TO be
of especial interest in the east and there is
where the new movement will come from.
The country does not, however, seem
to be any more anxious about it than
heretofore and it is more than likely that
congress will not act upon the new bill.
All the western and southern members of
congress receive no urging from their
constituents in favor of such law and
they will not be likely to act until they
find the measure more in demand than it
now seems to be.

THE Democrat who is howling for re-

new conception of the amount by fgur-
ing out that the government has now
stored in Washington over 800 tons OF
gold and nearly 1900 tons of silver coin

Yes, and he gets his third wind when
he compares this statement with the
hundreds that have appeared in the Inter
Ocean TO tho effect, that the country
would be bankrupted and the treasury
emptied when the democrats get in. Is
this the way the democrats bankrupt the
treasury paying the confederate debt?

1HE law is still following the wreckers
OF the Missouri Pacific trains in the 1886
strikes and although much was for long
timo conceded by the knights of labor it
is all going TO come out and all the guilty
will pay tho penalty. For little while
the mob held the fort and the law went
down but now that the knights of labor
organization is tumbling to pieces every
whore il no longer affords any protection
to the hot headed followers of Martin
Irons and the crimes committed under
tho excitement of the hour come back
for tormenters in the coming years.
Some Of the poor wretche5 who
were persuaded that it WAS right to
ditch trains are having hard time

required TO work il out on long contracts
in tho penitentiary and all for having
faith in the mouth laborer.

of Mr.. Blaine there liz strong under

adverse 10 the Piumed Knight which
shows itself at the surface frequently,
and the ahrowd politicians cannot keep
it down out of sight. The San Francisco
Argonaut, that warmly supported Blaine
in 1854, tells the following plain truths:
Mr.. Blaine will never again be the nom
inee OF the republican party for presi
dent, and If he is, will without doubt be
defeated by an overwhelming majority.
His connection with the priests and
politicians of the Roman Catholic church
and the results of the election as shown
III the vote of nearly all the great north
ern cities, imply an agreement with
Roman Catholic church authorities that
excludes him from ever being intrusted
with the civil administration of this ma
tiou.

enough as the road would have been built
in any event, and it is doubtful whether
any number of British regulars could
prevent it. That country is little too
near, and a little too closely associated
with state Of civilization and freedom
to long consent to having human pro

A New Use for Apples.

new use for apples has been discoy-
cred which may interest the drinkers of
champagne and Rhine wines A promi-
nent apple grower of the eastern part of
Rensselaer, county has for several years
past been running n large evaporator Oh
what are known as cider apples"
small, gnarly variety which the farmers
usually consign to cider mills. These ma
chimes slice the apples, skin, core and all,
very thin. These thin slices are then
bleached white by the use of sulphur
fumes.
When Thoroughly dry the evaporated
apples are put into sugar barrels and
packed as tight as they can be pressed, so
that single barrel will hold 200 pounds,
or twenty bushels of apples. These are
then shipped TO New York for expectation
to Germany. where they are ground up
for the manufacture of what is known as
cider, and it is generally understood that
much of it enters into the composition of
champagne, Rhine and other wines. 1t is
said that when these evaporated apples
are cut up and properly ''dcctored" the
finest cider is produced. Last year more
than two car loads of dried apples were
sent from one station alone on the Leba-
non Springs railroad.-Albany journal.

The Latest Fashionable Gait.

"Havc you observed the new gait
adopted by fashionable ladies while out OF
a promenade" asked Fifth avenue
modiste of reporter recently.
Seeing a look of bewilderment on the
reporters face, she continued: "YOu
know that fashions change in walking
just as they do in everything else. Even
young mcn change their manner of walk
ing according to the whims of fashion. A
short time ago it was the thing for fashion
able young men to poke along on tiptOe in
a sort Of gingerly way. That was when
the dude was in his glory. Now the dude
has departed, and his walk has gone with
him. believe a brisk, businesslke stride
is the proper thing now. The correct walk
for girls, until very recently, was a kind of
long easy lope. think that Mrs. Potter
was the originator of this. 1t was quickly
copied by many actresses. Pauline Hall
and Patrice have it to perfection. Any
how, it was awfully popular last winter
on the avenue and has been all the go at
the watering places this summer. 1t was
very graceful aud pretty, but it has 60;
to 90.
1.-The new walk is neither graceful nor
pretty. II is a kind of waddlc. The
would be fashionable young lady now
walks as if she had no joints nor firmnesS
to her. Every part of her anatomy seems
to shake and wiggle as she goes. She
comes down hard first on one foot and
then Oh the other, seeming to rest her
body alternately on each of her neither
limbs. Her checks wabble and so do her
arms. l don't know any better way to
describe il than to say she waddles like
fat duck. don't know who is the Origi-
nator of this fashion, but it is evidently
going to be the thing this winter All the
girls put il on with their fall bonnets, and
all over the streets you can see the little
dearS trying their best to he ungraceful in
their efforts to be up to the latest fad"

By careful selection of the Ingredients.
and skill and manipulation, the luster,
color, fire and water of the choicest stones
are to the eyes Of the layman fully repro

color that cannot be perfectly given, for
they depend on some undiscoverablc pecu-

not on chemical compositions: but the per-

that. Yet Sidot, French chemist, has
nearly reproduced these peculiarities, in
